Glenn's 2nd Post

In "Class Act", I was amazed by the opportunity Michael Faraday was given through his hard work and determination. All of his experimenting and note taking had gotten him tickets to lectures of the famous Humphry Davy, who would later become his employer. This new occupation allowed him to do what he loved and evolved into him discovering an equation that related electricity with magnetism. Seeing someone like Faraday go from regular to world famous, makes you wonder how many other scientific findings have been looked over or gone to waste because of the scientist's bad circumstances. Not many people get such a big break like Faraday did, therefore there's a high chance that over the years we've missed out on hundreds of discoveries because of the scientist's lack of resources. If scientific experimenting resources were made more readily available to everyone, I'm sure there would be an increase on the discoveries that we come to know.
